If it gets bad enough, outpatient antibiotics use will be a thing of the past. Need antibiotics? You're staying in a facility where someone will monitor you and make sure you take the full course and don't make our resistance problems worse. It won't necessarily be a hospital and you won't necessarily be watched by doctors or nurses, but compliance will be mandatory and enforced. Society has ways of defending itself.
I hope it doesn't get that bad, but needs must, when the Devil calls the tune.
